History
Begeč was first mentioned in the 16th century and its name is derived from the Ottoman ruling title "beg" (or "bey") and word "eč" (meaning "village"), hence the full meaning of the name would be "the village of the beg.". There is a Serbian Orthodox church dating to 1838 in the village.
Archaeology
The archeological site of Castellum Onagrinum is located on the left shore of the Danube. It includes ruins of a Roman fortress built in the late 3rd century. The site is part of the Cultural Heritage of Serbia list, inscribed in 1995.[2]
